Stanford has hired Duane Akina as its secondary coach, according to a source. Akina coached at Arizona in the 1990s under Dick Tomey and most recently was the defensive backs coach at Texas. He was not retained by new Longhorns coach Charlie Strong. He takes over for Derek Mason, who coached Stanford's secondary and served as defensive coordinator before becoming the head coach at Vanderbilt.
